Torrey Pines

Torrey Pines

Employing stop motion animation, Peterson’s autobiographical, queer, punk coming-of-age tale recounts growing up in Southern California in the early 1990s. Raised by a schizophrenic single mother, his life unfolds in a series of baffling and hallucinated events fueled by visions of political conspiracy, family dysfunction, and being kidnapped at the age of 12 and taken on a cross-country adventure that forever altered his family.
